====== GMs and NPCs ====== > //"What makes Anchor Rock Anchor Rock? Well, it's not the rock, believe it or not— the truth is that Anchor Rock is Anchor Rock 'cause of the people! If you think about it, we're the rock. That's what my grandpa always used to say. Or was it that we're the anchor? You get the point, either way."// - Deanna Zhao You can contact the GMs by two methods: - Message us on Discord - Drop us an email at [[gm@transference.oxfordrpg.com]]. This method is not anonymous, but the RPGSoc's MailDragon system is set up such that it is not always immediately obvious who is sending the message, so please do make it clear who you are! All of the GMs will be able to read your message, so if you'd like to contact just one specific GM, doing so via Discord will be most effective. ==== Tenaya (CAMPO) ==== **OC pronouns:** they/them **What is your cozy place?** \\ Sitting on the floor with a mug of hot tea in hand and good friends around.
